It’s an election year, which means that the political circus has come to town all across Nigeria. Politicians have been reaching out to voters for quite a while now, but the outreach has hit a fever pitch as the primaries narrow the field. One of the essential tools in every campaign’s toolbox is the call center.

Call centers are an age-old tradition among political hopefuls. Candidates may utilize a variety of tactics to get out the word about themselves, including canvassing, emails, social media and snail mailing campaigns. All of these methods have their merit, but call centers play a central role in candidates overall strategies.

The three primary responsibilities of political call centers are getting out the vote, volunteer recruitment fundraising and conducting research.
